In regard to Thanksgiving day, we al

pie feast instead of fast, while the majority
of the people forget to pray, we fear. Why
are the dances, shooting matches. etc., ap-
pointed for that time Why must the
innocent gobler die and the roast pig and
pumpkin pie suffer annihilation on that
particular day, appointed for fasting. The
American people devour more good things
on this fast day than on any other one in
the 365. Again we ask why is this thusG ?

of the first Importance A striking confirmation
OF the communication is furnished in two oppo-
site forms. One is the leading article of yes
terday's Standard, which advocates with great
earuestness the reception of a papal envoy at
the court of St. James, and which points out
that such envoy would be Of the utmost use
in helping the government to g-apple with the
Irish problem. The other is address TO Mon
signor Persico, which is being circulated for
signature among English Catholics OF
home-rule sympathies. and which
take to be note of alarm and
resentment at tine rurnor. which these Catholics
have just encountered in its definite shape in
London society. The address is issued by
committee consisting of many influential and
eminent English Catholics, among others the
Marquis of Ripon. the Earl of Ashburnham, the
Earl of Oxford, Sir James Marshall Sir Henry
Beddingfeld, George Biount, Simon Scrope. Sir
John Kenyon and Lieutenant-colonel Bernard.
and il protests in the most emphatic terms
against the action of certain influential mem ers
of the Catholic Church in England. whose chief,
it is well known, is the Duk. of Norfolk. The

to be charged by the British government with

Special to the Indianapolis Journe:
UNION CITY, Dec. 16.-John W. Bailey, mar
shall of the Ohio side of the town. considered
himself aggrieved at an article which appeared
in the Union City Times of this morning. He
met the editor Geo. W. Patched, this evening,
in front of the Branham House and assaulted
him with pair of brass knuckles. Patched re-
ceived a severe blow on the forehead, and,
though considerably dazed, threw Bailey to the
ground and held him until an officer arrived and
took him to Jail In the fight Bailey got badly
mashed mouth and Patched received three blows
with the metal knucks. He is considerably
hurt, but is too mad to acknowledge it Being a
baseball player, he is used to catching it some
thing like that.
